(Ignore those two Autos in soil there, I want to move them upstairs any day to have my greenhouse entirely soil free) The black pots I use (11L/2.9gal, 7L/1.8gal) are actually some weird type of air-pot available here very cheap, this is why I got them to try them out. My smallest one, this...

Some of you guys please give me some advice about the right amount/frequency of watering. There is a little confusion. Some say water every day, some say only when dry, each 2-3 days. It is my understanding that you WANT some 25-30% runoff to make sure the (internal) reservoir gets flushed and...

Hey! Glad here is a Hempy thread too! I switched to Hempies after one year experience with organic, I got so tired of problems like fungus gnats and what I believe way too high ph of my soil mix. (ph7.2). In my organic grows I always run into problems like yellowing at some point. Now I am...

I know that you usually don't flush them. But today it dawned on me that I used too much nutes on my VERY tiny seedlings the last two times by mistake. The seedlings are not growing as fast as I like and giving too much nutes (GH Trio) is probably one reason. So today I "flushed" them...

Old post, but nevertheless this might be helpful.... There is not much difference between the various "CalMag" products out there, they all provide calcium and most of them iron as well. Whatever brand you'll be getting it will say on the bottle how much to add. I don't understand your...

I wish my kitchen was as clean as your grow room :) very nice!

I have a hard time understanding why in your case the spraying with Neem would have hurt the plants. I am spraying my plants with Insecticidal (potassium) soap and Neem *liberally* and often and I have never seen any problems with this whatsoever. Please read my thread here...

Yeah sorry this stuff is quite expensive in AU. Here I pay €7 for a 1L bottle or €20 for 5L. I got one bottle about 8 months ago, lol, I still have plenty left, including some left in that tiny 15ml of Aza-something (local brand). You can't get a lot of stuff in Spain, sometimes the most simple...

Yup, you bet! I was for a second unsure whether I actually had broad mites, so I was "happy" to find it's just the usual spidermites infestation :)

The beauty about insecticidal soap/Neem is that it does more: *) Washes off eggs and mites, mildew etc. *) It actually KILLS them immediately (while Neem acts more slowly) *) The Neem inhibits bugs' growth and keeps them off *) It's said that Neem makes plants more resistant to bugs *) Soap...

All sorts of additives, perfumes, preservatives....

If you check on ebay AUS, there is one vendor selling "Horticultural Potassium soap derived from Neem oil". That sure would be perfect but you'd still need to mix another Neem product in it, like Azamax or whatever. That's when making the soap yourself from potassium hydroxide would be too much...

Yes I noticed that insecticidal (potassium) soap is not THAT common in some countries. It might called something else, like Kalium Soap (Kali Seife in Germany) and you'd possibly get it from a pharmacy. You might want to check ebay, search 1st for "insecticidal soap", then potassium soap then...

Oh of course not, in the first two weeks after 12/12 they will stretch, they need N. But I just yesterday read somewhere that "giving too much N" in flower, so that they do NOT get yellow leaves results in a poor yield, the plant is *supposed* to get yellow leaves, supposedly a sign that...

Yellowing of the larger fan leaves FROM BOTTOM UP is almost always N def, and as said, N def is normal when they start flowering. My flowering plants look MUCH worse. Your top, new growth looks healthy. I am usually not worrying about large fan leaves yellowing and especially not during flower...

N def, possibly normal flowering N def? Doesn't look TOO concerning to me to be honest. Plants overall look fine, don't worry about some yellow fan leaves in flowering, that's totally normal.

I bet you ANY money (and now even more after I read the label and instructions of Mitey Wash) that Mitey Wash is nothing else than a soapy emulsion (possibly insecticidal soap) and Neem. Instructions and label etc. totally sound like it plus the fact it's not toxic and you don't need special...

That's why I said it can't hurt to spray w/ soap & neem, say, once every month even if you don't have an actual infestation, just for prevention. And yes, if you do have an infestation, repeat in 3-4 days intervals, hose them off with water first, then insecticidal soap emulsion w/ Neem, repeat...

>> forbid 4f , avid, floramite and Kontos. >> Lord fricking Christ, why use forbid 4F if you can kill them and keep them away will insecticidal soap and Neem? Spidermites are still among the easier-to-get-rid-off pests. Compared to, say, broad mites. I looked up forbid 4F, it sure is "the best"...

Let me get this straight, you're growing in Alaska (!!) and your temps are anywhere from the high 30s to upper 40s...FAHRENHEIT??? At those temps can you even grow anything? Edit: Are those pipes used? If you think there is indeed too much light coming in, so yes I would stuff something in...
